This smart clothing can burn fat to help you lose weight

On December 22, according to foreign media reports, many people who are obsessed with obesity can easily become the target of fraudsters, and weight loss drugs, dieting, fitness tools and other means of weight loss do not work. Now, a startup in Canada is developing new smart clothing that can deceive the body to burn fat by “tapping on your metabolism” to achieve weight loss.

Adam Paulin, an athlete with a degree in neurology and psychology at the University of Toronto and a founder of thin ice smart clothing, can deceive the body and make you feel cold and burn body fat. Pauline and his research and development team designed two products, namely vests and insoles, which have built-in temperature sensors that can be used to lose weight for different parts of the body.

Both products are equipped with semiconductor cooling fins and rechargeable batteries that can be connected to the thin ice application for Android or iOS via a low-power Bluetooth device, so that users can see how much heat they burn and control the temperature. When the temperature is lowered, you will see that the weight also drops.

Of course, there is no need to worry about being frozen to death. Even if you keep the temperature to a minimum, you won't be shivering. Because its cooling mechanism only targets specific parts of the body, it deceives your nervous system from triggering a thrilling reaction. The principle of this technique is that cold can cause brown fat tissue in the body to consume fat to produce heat, and thin ice smart products can trigger this mechanism, but it will not reach the coldness that makes you feel tremble or muscle spasm.

But many people are skeptical about the study of Pauline et al., such as Shaun Morrison, a researcher at the Department of Neurosurgery at the Oregon Health Sciences University, who said: "Brown fat tissue in obese or overweight people is cold when they are cold. Can't be activated, so thin ice smart clothing may not be able to achieve the desired weight loss. If you use a higher level of skin cooling technology, it may be uncomfortable, wearing for months is certainly unbearable."

In addition, thin ice applications suggest that people's diet and exercise may affect weight loss. Morrison pointed out that wearing this cool clothing may change people's metabolism and make people feel more hungry. In addition, this smart clothing has many limitations. For example, you can't wash the vest with a washing machine. The company recommends cleaning it regularly with disinfectant wipes. The insole is also not suitable for strenuous exercise such as running or playing basketball, and can only be kept cool during daily activities.

But perhaps the supporters of the thin ice smart clothes don't care about their practical utility. Many people are willing to spend $100 on the crowdfunding website to buy the vests and insoles, which is 35% less than the retail price. Thin ice smart clothing company has missed the deadline for shipments in December, perhaps it will be delivered as early as next spring. (sail)
